Got some new tires

They are 255/35/20's. Have some mixed feelings about them. But I love the fact that I'm not rubbing anywhere at all and oddly enough it seems like a smoother ride. I had 275/45/20's all the way around. Here's a before pic and an after pic. Normally I wouldn't ask opinions about my truck because I don't care, but I'd like some honest opinions about them.

Re: Got some new tires

Assuming the top one is the new one? Unless you are a cop again

And if the top one is the newer of them, I like the rake look better

Re: Got some new tires

I like the front in the second pic better. It looks like it fills out the fender a bit more. The back looks better in the first pic though.... whatever, right?

Re: Got some new tires

nope, no Andy in sight. I didn't change the back tires they've always been the same.
